The chainsaw was purchased in order to be able to carry it on a mowing machine. There are always odd branches and basal growth that need trimming & its not safe to carry a petrol chainsaw. I have also used it to fell conifers, some of which were rather large. To be honest I'd only just bought the chainsaw and was trying it out, & exploring its capabilities. I had a petrol chainsaw standing by which I was intending to use on the larger trunks. I found that the Dewalt was up to the task & would thoroughly recommend it Its light weight and ease of use makes it an ideal bit of kit. I have to say I was more than a little surprised at just how well it performs I use the 5.0AH batteries and find they last a reasonable time If I could give it 6 stars I would! All in all a splendid addition to my toolboxRead full review

Light and easy to use. Cuts cleanly and has plenty of power. Ideal for smaller jobs, but you should get something a little beefier for larger cuts or sustained usage unless you have plenty of batteries.

If you are expecting the power of a petrol chainsaw then you'll be disappointed but with that power comes safety issues and weight. This seems far safer than a petrol version and has enough power to saw through fairly large logs and branches. It's far super to a pruner which seems to struggle with anything now than 3 inches diameter.

I purchased this chainsaw to be able to buck logs for firewood without disturbing the neighbours. It is capable and comparatively quite to a petrol saw. It cut 18” seasoned Lelandii with relative ease. It is light and compact making it perfect for small spaces and it can be thrown in the car boot for easy transportation. The only drawback is the bar oil reservoir, it does not have a seal, meaning the oil leaks. This is a known problem, I fixed it with a rubber o ring rolled on to the plug as it has a groove for it to sit in. The bar is only a little under 12” meaning it can be a little on the slow side when cutting thick logs. It is possible to upgrade it but it would be at the detriment to battery life. It has easy adjustable chain housing and chain tensioner meaning no need for tools, it has a solid chain guard and a good chain stop system. Over all I was impressed, 4/5 due to chain bar length and oil seal. Great if you already have the XR battery system!Read full review

So much easier to use than a traditional or petrol saw, agree it doesn’t quite have the same power, but for most non trade use, it’s a great tool.
